“Hey, Seiko-kun. Can I become an adventurer?”

In the dining hall, Shiro randomly asked this question to Seiko who was partaking of his breakfast. Everyone in the room stopped eating and their eyes all turned to face Seiko and Shiro.

“No.”

He replied with little to no emotion in his voice.

“Come on, I’m pretty strong, right? I can take care of myself and you know it.”

“That is not the issue here, Shiro.”

“So, what is the issue? Let’s solve it!”

Seiko dropped his bread and looked Shiro right in the eye.
